November 9-10

       I am soooo tired right now, but I'm committed to blogging for you all, so here it goes.
       E-music yesterday was confusing again. The students is starting to get fed up with it all. You can feel the angst in the air! I promptly slipped out right as class ended and went back to my room to do some reading, chillin', and odds and ends stuff. Choir last night was easier than the previous week. There weren't so many crazy high notes that make me feel like I've been kicked in the throat by a horse (that's more the Messiah's effect on me, actually). Immediately after singers ensemble, I went to the gym for an awesome workout. Its feels so good to be exercising again! Normally, exercise helps you to sleep better, right? That's what I thought, but I have exercised the last 2 days, and I haven't slept well. Just this morning I realized it is because I have been drinking tea in the evenings, and apparently it's caffeinated! Didn't do that today. I'm gonna sleep like a baby!
       Today was awesome. I totally pulled a Ferris Bueller's Day Off. I had been toying with idea of skipping Shakespeare class today because I can afford to miss a couple, and I didn't want to read or hear about Romeo and Juliet. When I woke up to the magnificent sunshine coming in my window, I decided. No class today! I'm having fun instead! I spent the morning in my room, doing online stuff, reading my Bible, booking my trip to Vienna, and chatting with my friend Sarah. Then, I was off to the city! It is both weird and awesome to be in the London hustle and bustle by myself. With a handy map, I spent about 6 hours walking around the city between the Piccadilly Circus, Oxford Circus, and Leicester Square areas. There are so many shops, and the streets are already getting decorated for Christmas! In between trekking around the city, I bought myself a ticket to see Phantom of the Opera tonight! One of my friends was going, so I told her we could just meet up before the show. The funny thing was she is in my Shakespeare class also, so when I was having a blast in the city, she was nearly bored to tears in class! Bummer . . . for her. I would have invited her, but she gets nervous about skipping class. Anyway, after walking my legs off, I went to Her Majesty's Theater to sit back and watch a fantastic show! I got a ticket for about 26 pounds which is cheap, and my seat wasn't half bad. I feel so spoiled being around so many good musicians in this city! The ones in my classes and the professional ones. I am absolutely fascinated by them. I definately need to marry a music man.
       On the tube on the way back to campus, my knees were killing me from walking them to death around the city! I picked up a few things at the mini mart, and trudged back to my room. Now that my body is exhausted and my head is aching, I will say goodnight!

Prayer Request of the Day: That I would experience the love of the Lord and share it too.

  1. Thanks for making the sacrifice to keep us in tune with what you are doing!!!! Can't wait to trudge around with you! BTW, I am soooooo proud of you for doing a Ferris Bueller (and you didn't wreck the car!). And you didn't even regret missing class--good girl.
